Storm Over Asia #MovieReview

Film 338 in the ‘1001 Films to See Before You Die’ challenge is 1928’s “Storm Over Asia”. Or as it’s known in Russian, “Potomok Chingis-Khana”. Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin, this historical war drama is about a Mongolian herdsman who escapes to the hills after brawling with a western capitalist fur trader who cheats him. Moral of the story is… Don’t short change people for valuable things. That and you shouldn’t make businessmen bleed a tiny bit from the hand because they’ll send an entire Russian Army after you. There is nothing I remember about this film. I only just switched it off and apart from that crooked businessman sending an army after the man who made him bleed there is nothing I can recall off the top of my head. Overall, I don’t remember a thing from this film therefore it’s not worth watching. I managed 39 minutes before falling asleep. If you have seen this film then let me know what you thought of it in the comments. Here is what I managed to say while watching 1928’s “Storm Over Asia”
